A socio-dental survey was carried out to determine the level of dental disease and treatment requirement among elderly people attending a Community Care Centre. A screening programme involving 293 elderly people demonstrated a normative need of 82% and a felt need of 53%. Seventy-six per cent would have benefited from dental care. Many individuals who both needed and wanted dental care were not receiving it because they were discouraged from doing so predominantly because of poor mobility. It is recommended, therefore, that dentists be included in multi-disciplinary teams caring for elderly people so that they can be screened and given the opportunity to obtain dental care.
开展了一项社会口腔调查，以确定在一家社区护理中心就诊的老年人的牙齿疾病水平和治疗需求。一项涉及293名老年人的筛查计划显示，规范需求为82%，感知需求为53%。76%的人会从牙科护理中受益。许多既需要又想要牙科护理的人没有得到护理，主要是因为行动不便而不愿去。因此，建议将牙医纳入照顾老年人的多学科团队，以便对他们进行筛查，并有机会获得牙科护理。
